Why seaweed?
Long known and used by farmers for its rich value, seaweed feeds
plants with a wide range of nutrients, growth bio-stimulants and
conditioners. Harvested along the Norwegian coastline—the most perfect
seaweed growing environment—this is an organic, non-pollutant renewable
resource. |

It stimulates natural development
By increasing the levels of your plants’ chlorophyll production,
Seaweed stimulates their natural development and growth. In effect
Seaweed functions as a catalyst to let your plants use the sun’s energy
more effectively, thereby promoting stronger, healthier growth.
Seaweed also feeds the soil
And soil is the key: feeding the plant without simultaneous concern
for the soil is like building a house on sand. Many artificial
fertilizers, while offering impressive results in the short term, do so
by neglecting the long term health of the soil. Seaweed greatly
improves this obvious (but generally overlooked) part of your plant’s
ecosystem. It creates an extended root system giving your plants greater
access to nutrients and water in the soil and thus to long term health.
Natural resistance
Seaweed stimulates beneficial soil microbe activity which leads to
improving your plants’ natural resistance to stresses. It creates a
“biological barrier” between your plants and pathogens.
How Seaweed works
Seaweed contains a large complex of chelated minor elements, to help
lessen or nullify minor deficiencies in plants. It also contains
important biogrowth stimulants, which have a tremendous effect on seed
germination, root development, and general growth. Seaweed’s organic
sugars make available to the plants all the wonderful properties of
seaweed.
As a fertilizer supplement
Most artificial fertilizers are powerful “boosters,” introducing
large amounts of N-P-K (nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium). But N-P-K
contents are not a yardstick for their effectiveness. Too much rain, for
instance, can wash most of it out of the soil, while too little may lead
to high concentrations and scorching of the delicate seedlings.
Here, too, Seaweed can be very effective as a fertilizer supplement
to help restore the soil conditions. |

What is Seaweed used for?
Seaweed is a natural fertilizer that goes right to the heart of the
plant, encouraging natural growth processes and boosting health. When sprayed
onto plant leaves, or used to drench roots, it produces more roots: the bigger
the root system the more nutrients and water the plant can absorb.
Is all seaweed the same?
Absolutely not! There are thousands of varieties of seaweeds and very few
have value for plant life. Ascophyllum Nodosum seaweed from Norway has been
thoroughly tested and its value proven.
What makes Seaweed work so well?
All plants produce growth stimulants to improve their growth. However, when a
plant is under stress (drought, heat, wind, etc.) the production of these growth
stimulants greatly decreases. Of course, this in turn creates a weak plant that
is even more easily susceptible to insect and disease. Seaweed Seaweed works so
effectively because it contains these types of growth stimulants.
Where can I use Seaweed?
It can be used by itself, or with fertilizers:
• on all plants as a natural stimulant
• on seedlings to encourage strong, early growth
• as a supplement to fertilizer to encourage fruit set and better yields
• as a “pick-me-up” for unhealthy plants
• to encourage growth and greening of lawns (turf)
• on all greenhouse and nursery plants (weekly)
What results can I expect?
Research has shown that Seaweed increases root growth by 60%. This
gives your plants the foundation for bigger, better quality fruits and
vegetables and more prolific blooms. It also makes plants more resistant to
stresses.
